Chapter 278 La Peregrina Pearl
In the end, An Yunxi didn't do much with the watch.
She has no particular interest in collecting these antique clocks.
When checking out, An Yunxi spent a total of 158.5 million.
Although this number is shocking, it is not a big problem for her.
Zhou Shiyan also spent 77 million. He didn't buy much, but each one was worth tens of millions.
After swiping the card, An Yunxi immediately used a consumption cashback card with a limit of 100 million and 50 million.
In this way, she still has a consumption cash back card with a limit of 100 million yuan.
It seems that she was a little too conservative in spending money today.
Maybe I should be bolder next time.
However, what An Yunxi didn't know was that her performance in these two auctions, where she would buy anything she liked no matter how much the price was, had left a deep impression on many upper-class people.
Her decisiveness, resolution and financial resources impressed people, and many people began to be curious about her and wanted to know more about her background and identity.
Even her reputation increased because of her performance.
However, An Yunxi, who did not check the system panel in real time, knew nothing about this.
She just focused on her shopping experience and enjoyed it.
Today's check-in location is the venue of the Ruili Auction.
An Yunxi signed in just before leaving after the auction ended.
"Ding Dong! Sign in at the auction venue of Ruili Hotel and receive the La Peregrina pearl necklace. It has been stored in the system backpack."
Pearl necklace? Or that La Peregrina pearl?
As far as An Yunxi knows, the La Peregrine Pearl was originally just a huge natural pearl.
This huge natural pearl is named for its 500-year history and royal collection.
It was originally discovered by an African slave in the Bay of Panama, taken to Spain and presented to King Philip II, who in turn gave it to his bride, Mary I of England.
It was later included in the Spanish Royal Jewels, where it remained for 250 years.
In 1808, Napoleon's brother, Joseph Bonaparte, became King of Spain.
In 1811, he was forced to abdicate and fled the country, taking the pearl with him.
The pearl was later sold to the Duke of Abercorn and remained in the family collection for nearly a century.
It remained in circulation until 1969, when actor Richard Burton bought it at auction for $37,000.
Burton gave the pearl to his wife, Elizabeth Taylor, a noted connoisseur of jewelry and pearls.
Elizabeth Taylor treasured her Valentine gift and wore it frequently in various combinations over the decades.
It wasn’t until later that she asked jeweler Cartier to create a stunning pearl, ruby and diamond necklace for her.
In 2011, the necklace was sold at a high price of $11.8 million.
No one knew how it ended up in the system's hands, and now the system gave it to her as a sign-in reward.
Just by looking at the picture, An Yunxi seemed to be able to personally feel the nobility, elegance and beauty emanating from the necklace.
Even after a long time, it is still not outdated, but adds a sense of years of precipitation and historical weight.
Pearls have always been a symbol of elegance and nobility. They look beautiful and elegant no matter how you wear them.
However, in modern society, most pearls are cultured.
Natural pearls like these have become a scarce resource, and ordinary people may not be able to buy them.
What's more, this huge natural pearl necklace with historical value is a rare treasure.
It has to be said that the items rewarded by the system this time really suit her personal preferences.
After returning home, as soon as the items purchased at the auction were delivered, Zhou Shiyan took out the phoenix pendant from the dragon and phoenix jade pendants and hung it around An Yunxi's neck.
"Brother Shi Yan?"
"I bought it especially for you. You wear the phoenix pendant and I wear the dragon pendant. We are a perfect match."
There’s nothing wrong with that!
"Then you wear it too!"
After saying that, An Yunxi took out the dragon pendant from the box and hung it around Zhou Shiyan's neck.
The man curled his lips slightly, smiled and said, "Well, I wear it every day."
After saying that, he naturally stretched out his hand and held the little girl in his arms.
The carefully dressed up little girl was as beautiful as a fairy, and he was a little reluctant to let her go.
An Yunxi sat on the sofa, nestled in Zhou Shiyan's arms, enjoying this quiet and warm moment.
"Brother Shi Yan..."
"Well, what's wrong?"
Zhou Shiyan touched the little girl's silky hair, and his voice seemed to come from his chest.
"Do you think I'm a spendthrift?"
She spent more than 100 million at the auction today.
Although she didn't spend all the money Zhou Shiyan transferred to her, generally speaking, men don't like women who are too wasteful.
"Haha, are you afraid that I can't afford to support you?"
When Zhou Shiyan laughed, his chest shook with the laughter.
An Yunxi raised her fist and punched her lightly, pretending to be angry and said, "What are you laughing at? I'm serious!"
"Only useless men would complain about women spending too much money."
